Mishimoto catch can kit for 2.0T Malibu

[PartyChef]

just wanted to drop in and share something I figured out. I had a Mishimoto catch can kit lying around that was originally made for the ATS 2.0T, and I ended up making it work on my 2.0T Malibu. It took a bit of effort, but nothing too wild. I mostly kept the original piping since it was pre bent and almost the right fit, though one section just wasn't long enough. I swapped that out with a longer hose. The only real mod I had to do was mess with one of the mounting brackets. It comes with two 90 degree bends, but I tossed it in a vise and flattened it a bit to fit where I needed. It's not exactly pretty, but hey, it works and honestly, there's probably a more polished way to do it, but I just wanted it done.
Hopefully this helps someone else who's been thinking about it. I didn't see anything on this kind of setup before, so figured I'd share my trial run.

@PartyChef that's quite smart, you inspired me!

So cool! Yeah, sometimes self trust can really do us wonders. First time I heard of it & I'm just glad it worked for you. You sound pretty innovative.

That's resourceful engineering, especially for a Mishimoto kit! How long did the whole MacGyvering take? I'm curious to see a tutorial!

I'm curious too about how long does this whole thing take? and did you consider any other catch can kits before trying this one? I wonder if there's an alternative
